Ever wondered how the @zoom_us macOS installer does it’s job without you ever clicking install? Turns out they (ab)use preinstallation scripts, manually unpack the app using a bundled 7zip and install it to /Applications if the current user is in the admin group (no root needed).

Seriously, stay at home. Please stop the spread.

One good thing I sincerely hope will come of this is dramatic increases in pay for those traditionally low-paid roles that have been absolutely vital for our survival during #coronavirus - now more than ever can we see the true value of all sorts of people's work.

The world will never be the same after we recover from COVID-19. Every time the government said they couldn't find money for a program that benefited citizens, a lie. Every time your manager said your job couldn't be done from home, a lie.

Thinking about creating a free course to run through setting up a @Shopify store for the DIY brick and mortar store owners who want to get up and running on their own. Any recommendations for a course platform? Preferably free since I won't be charging for this?

This might gross people out but IDC. A sign of depression for me is I lose the will to brush my teeth. In the past I would go 2-3 days without unless I was going out. You need to recognize your “early warning signs” for depression so you can get help before it’s too late.

A funny thing about quarantining is hearing your partner in full work mode for the first time. Like, I’m married to a “let’s circle back” guy — who knew?

Thankful to everyone who participated @IndieWebCamp London online this past weekend. Met a friendly, diverse range of folks, discussed, learnt, made stuff for our websites. No different to any other IWC except we all did it from of our own homes (calumryan.com/note/3461)

- Make messages fully formed to save a whole day cycle - Expect a response when it's inconvenient for you - Mute your mic when not speaking - Be overly expressive, you are a tiny thumbnail - If people aren't speaking, try to give them time - Try to look at the cam not the screen

Post details

Some remote communication tips: - Keep emails short and to the point. Bullet points are your pal - Never DM someone in Slack with “hi” and wait for their response. Go straight in with the reason you are messaging them - Don't expect immediate responses. Remote = Asynchronous

Holy crap. One person, who refused to be tested and instead went to church and a buffet lunch, is the source of over 1,000 (!!) infections in S Korea. One person, who refused social distancing. No brunch or bar is worth being This Person. graphics.reuters.com/CHINA-HEALTH-S…

Friends, the current situation may make you to feel productivity shame. I feel that. It sucks. It’s okay to be offline. It’s okay not to work on a side project. It’s okay to turn off the computer after work. You’re not lazy. There’s no expectations. WFH may blur the line.

Friendly reminder for my privileged pals: Before you complain about staying at home, remember there are tons of disabled and neurodivergent people who do this Every Day. And they are out here on the internet, just like you. If you're quiet, you can learn something from them.

Just had a great conversation with my cat. We discussed the following: 1. Is he a little baby 2. He is in fact a little baby 3. The fact that he's very cute 4. The origin of how he got to be so cute 5. Why he is so little 6. Details as to how he's a good boy

WFH ProTip: Set a profile picture in chat, jira, etc. It goes a looong way to make text feel more personal. And no, I don't mean a picture of your pet. A picture of you 50m away, or of your hand. A picture of your face or a semi-accurate avatar of your face

One tip for people working remotely who were previously working from the office: In every single message, assume there is a smiley ":)" at the end. If you don't do it, anything you read might feel different depending on how you interpret it. You're welcome :)
